01-161 - The Acorn Workbench Woodworking PlanScott Landis in his Taunton Book, The Workbench Book, said that this was the very best American designed bench on the market. This is a big project for a woodworker. The Acorn bench has a full-width end vise and a double row of dog holes. A face vise of the same design is mounted flush with the opposite end of bench. The vises are supported with steel guide rods which assure you of years of trouble free use. This is a bench that will be passed to future generations of your family. Information included on where to course all of the hardware required to build this bench. Notes about the vises: It takes a machine shop to build the vices and the dimensions are given to make that happen. Sources on where to buy the vice screws are listed in the plan.
Skill level. Intermediate

Peter lives with his family in California.
